There has been some talk about entrepreneurship in the forum, so I wanted to post this as both an advice and as inspiration.

Here is the link:

I plan to start my own company some day. How about you? Do you already have a company and how was the start? Thank you!

Thanks!
Nice post, great advices.

Mentioned book “Rework” by Jason Fried is cool

What kind of business you are going to start?   

[Procyona]

I have not read that book. Thank you for the recommendation.

I want to start a company to tell stories of magic and wonder. I am a writer and storyteller. At the moment, I am connecting with customers and reforming my products.

Was it that you already have a company of your own? What field are you from and what do you do? Thank you!

Nice tips. Useful.

Thank you for the link and topic, Milla! Great advice!

I'm interested about starting a company in let's say 5 years. Gathering some knowledge and necessary licenses for it at the moment.

I have actually three ideas what I can start to work with, but one step at a time and now I'm studying. Two of those ideas are for construction and third is to open a shop to sell some high end hifi stuff, with a little twist.

Even though people say owning a company ain't a very good idea in Finland. I see it as only way to do what I want to do.

Does a dance studio mean they teach dancing there, Художник?

What kind of customers do you want to come to the studio?   

[Procyona]

Why is owning a company not a good idea in Finland, Ville-Pekka? How could you go around it? Thank you!

That sounds great, Художник! My sister actually does pole dancing, too. She tells it's extremely demanding for muscles, and a very good way to stay in shape.

If you want to attract young mothers, maybe you can have the mothers easily bring a baby or child with them when they practice? Or could it be something a family can do together? Just an idea that came to mind

Also, if you want to understand more how the young mothers think, you can 1) ask their opinions and 2) study their beliefs, what they buy, how they eat, what are their values in life.

I did a tip mentioned in the video above and wrote my dream in post-it letters and put them to places where I could see them every day. After just two days, I can see a change in the way I think.

watch video called "the secret".
Interested to hear your opinion

Do you mean the movie, Художник?

I have read the book called 'The Power', which is sequel to 'the Secret' (the book). Both are written by Rhonda Byrne.
